ADO.NET, LINQ, Entity Framework, NHibernateThe database management systems (DBMSs) are the essential part of the information technology. Nowadays, programmers use relational databases produced by a majority of manufacturers for data handling. Even each database management system uses its own proprietary format it is still a challenge for software developers to find appropriate approach to access data from multiple sources. Most of the new tools available to developers, including Microsoft’s Visual Studio, attempt to handle data from multiple locations (servers) and data stored in different formats (Bradley & Millspaugh, 2008). The following discusses several options the .NET Framework uses to access data. These topics include ADO.NET, LINQ, Entity Framework, and NHibernate. ADO.NET

The ADO.NET presents programmers with a package of components and to access data and data services. ADO.NET originally spawned from ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) technology, but it went through many major changes until today. ADO.NET is also a relatively new product. According to the msdn.microsoft website, “ADO.NET provides a rich set of components for creating distributed, data-sharing applications. It is an integral part of the .NET Framework, providing access to relational, XML, and application data. ADO.NET supports a variety of development needs, including the creation of front-end database clients and middle-tier business objects used by applications, tools, languages, or Internet browsers” (msdn.microsoft.com, 2005). ADO.NET is unique in regards to the data access and data manipulation. ADO.NET separates to into discrete components and uses both separately or in conjunction with other applications. Furthermore, ADO.NET includes data providers for data connectivity, command executions as well as retrieving processed results directly or by ADO.NET DataSet...

Architecture of the .NETFramework
The .NETFramework development platform introduces many new concepts, technologies, and terms. The goal of this chapter is to give an overview of the .NETFramework: to show how it is architected, to introduce some of the new technologies, and to define many of the new terms. I’ll also take you through the process of building your source code into an application or a set of redistributable components (types), and then explain how these components execute.
Compiling Source Code into Managed Modules
OK, so you’ve decided to use the .NETFramework as your development platform. Great! Your first step is to determine what type of application or component you intend to build. Let’s just assume that you’ve handled this minor detail, everything is designed, the specifications are written, and you’re ready to start development. Next, you must decide what programming language to use. This is usually a difficult task because different languages offer different capabilities. For example, in unmanaged C/C++, you have pretty low-level control of the system. You can manage memory exactly the way you want to, create threads easily if you need to, and so on. Visual Basic 6, on the other hand, allows you to build UI applications very rapidly and allows the easy...

Community can be defined as a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage (Dictionary.com, 2015). The health care needs of a community are contingent upon age, gender, race, and social class. This paper will address the marketing strategy of a web-based resource, walk-in clinic, and a retail clinic within one community. Research will cover the audience in which the organizations wish to target, how they market to The target audience, the effectiveness, and what could be done differently to improve marketing strategies.

Introduction
There are many choices of communication available to market a certain product. But today, because of the development of technology, we have more options to choose from traditional communication or online communication such as website, email, blogs, and social media (facebook, you tube, and twitter). Each option can be effective or ineffective depending on the product that is being marketed and there are many ways to be considered. As Berkowitz (2011) noted, “Successful communication with a target market depends on the effectiveness of the major components of communication.” (p. 345).

Today there are numerous health care accessoptions available to people whether the option is a web-based resource, walk-in clinic, or retail clinic. Having different ways people can receive health care is important. There are some people that will not use a web-based resource but prefer a walk-in clinic and vice versa. This paper will be covering MedExpress, a walk-in clinic. MedExpress' target audience, marketing, the effectiveness of their marketing, and marketing improvement will be discussed.
Target Audience
MedExpress is a walk-in urgent care facility located in Indiana, Pennsylvania. They offer an array of services to the public from immunizations to non-trauma emergency care.

Health Care AccessOptions
With today's world of healthcare options, it is near impossible to know just what your community offers in the way of access to health care. This paper will assist in narrowing down three options:
1. A walk in clinic
2. A retail clinic
3. A web-based resource for health care
The community that we will look at is a city in the county of Riverside, California. Moreno Valley, according to the United States Census Bureau (2015), has a population estimate in 2013 of 201,175; the city is approximate 51.5 square miles. With the large population, there is a need to bring forward some of the options that health care had to offer.
A walk-in clinic:
Community Health Systems, Inc., is a series of low to no income medical facilities that provides different types of services. Some of the services available to patients are Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Optometry, Dentistry, Pediatric Healthcare, and Women Health Service, (Community Health Systems, Inc., 2015). Patients must bring proof of income at which time they calculate the payment on a sliding scale and the patient pays according to that scale. Those that have no means of income qualified for a governmental program under the counties, Medically Indigent...

Background of the Project
Introduction
Concessionaires converge at the two-storey University Canteen to give students a wide array of choices for snacks and meals. Presented fast-food style, students serve themselves and recharge their energies in a multi-colored canteen to make mealtime a joyful moment with classmates and teachers. But since this is where food for the day is handled, utmost cooperation is needed to keep it clean, orderly and efficient. After taking their meals, students must put trash in waste cans, and trays and utensils in racks where they belong. With nutritious food and clean surroundings, all are assured of enjoyable mealtimes. The Food court is open from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday.
Problem Definition
This study we notices some problems in the department. The Department doesn’t have a database system to manage the student of Trinity University of Asia or the customers. The department has also a form to be fill up by customer to make a reservation of the catering service.

...HISTORY OF DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
With the progress in technology in the areas of processors, computer memory, computer storage and computer networks, the sizes, capabilities, and performance of databases and their respective DBMSs have grown in orders of magnitudes.
The development of database technology can be divided into three eras based on data model or structure: navigational, SQL/relational, and post-relational. The two main early navigational data models were the hierarchical model, epitomized by IBM's IMS system, and the Codasyl model (Network model), implemented in a number of products such as IDMS.
The relational model, first proposed in 1970 by Edgar F. Codd, departed from this tradition by insisting that applications should search for data by content, rather than by following links. The relational model is made up of ledger-style tables, each used for a different type of entity. It was not until the mid-1980s that computing hardware became powerful enough to allow relational systems (DBMSs plus applications) to be widely deployed. By the early 1990s, however, relational systems were dominant for all large-scale data processing applications, and they remain dominant today (2012) except in niche areas. The dominant database language is the standard SQL for the relational model, which has influenced database languages for other data models.
Object databases were invented...
